Build Faster and Smarter with GenAI Tools in Meta Horizon Worlds

Earlier this year, we launched a $50M creator fund alongside the early access release of our Meta Horizon Worlds desktop editor as part of our commitment to helping everyone building on Horizon find success on the platform.

Today, we’re excited to follow up on that commitment by expanding access to the desktop editor and its GenAI tools into the UK and Canada in addition to the US. These tools dramatically reduce development time from weeks to as little as hours; accelerating the ability of creators to translate their visions into high-fidelity worlds that users love.

But that’s not all — we’re also adding Mesh Generation and Texture Generation features to our suite of GenAI tools. Mesh Generation enables creators to easily and quickly create 3D meshes of any artifact or theme they want, while Texture Gen will allow creators to modify textures of any mesh, regardless of how it’s created. Now even more creators can accelerate their journey from ideation to monetization by using AI to generate quality 3D meshes, skyboxes, Typescript, sound effects and ambient audio with limited coding required.

With today’s addition of Mesh Generation and Texture Generation, creators can now leverage the industry’s most comprehensive suite of Generative AI tools for creators building digital worlds, to quickly prototype, iterate and publish increasingly rich and engaging mixed reality and mobile worlds . Dive in below to learn more about the latest tooling, and don’t forget to sign up for the Meta Horizon Creator Program (MHCP) to start monetizing.
